Indigenous Perspectives
Hear from some of our community partners about what it means to conserve the Emerald Edge.
The Emerald Edge is the largest intact coastal rainforest on earth—spanning 100 million acres across Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. To conserve this iconic land-water eco-system, The Nature Conservancy and its affiliate, Nature United, are working directly with Indigenous and local communities to put their priorities first: investing in youth, supporting Indigenous authority, building healthy economies, and helping emerging leaders achieve long-lasting conservation.
Watch this video series to hear directly from some of the people who live and work in the Emerald Edge.
